The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
intend, it is said making some important
changes within the next few months. For
years the Lehigh Valley and Central Rail-
roads have been fighting in the New Jersey
courts for the possession of a large strip of
land running along the south cove in Jer-
sey City, and which is known as the West
Line grant. A compronHaa. was effected
recently between the two 90 Sanies which
resulted in the suit, which had been
brought by the Lehigh Company, being dis
continued. BY the terms of the compromise
the Lehigh Valley secured sixty-fve acres
of the disputed land, including water
frontage of / $50 feet and dock room extend
ing along tho cove for distance Of one and
half miles. Persons who are in situa-
ton to know say that it is the intention of
the Lehigh Company to build large union
depot on portion of this land and TO
change the terminus of the road, which is
now at the Pennsylvania Railroad depot, to
that point. The new terminus, it is said
| by those interested, will be more extensive
than that of any tide-water railroad in the
world. Ground for the new terminal is
now being broken. The property is occupi-
ed by boat builders, machinists, and dry
docks, and the owners of the places haYc
been served with notices to quit the premis
es before March 1, next.

off the canal at Mill Creek, which is shor
distance from the head OF South Cove
The canal from Mill Creek will be filled il
to form a roadbed and the tracks will bt
continued from the Pennsy lyania Rallroa,

Nothing suocesds Like Success.

And so true is this old saying in connec-
tion with the well-known Davis sewing ma
chimes, that 1t is pleasure to present TO
our readers a few pungent facts in relation
thereto: This machine is the only one
that uses the vertical feed, an improve
ment that stands pre-. eminent among mod
ern inventions, and the right of which is
possessed by the Davis Sewing Machine
Company alone. Through this method of
feeding, every description of sewing is exc
cuted in the most perfect manner, avoid
ing any 'fulling' either above or below,
aud the necessity of basting. A feature
not possessed by any other machine, is that
the Davis carries both upper and under
plies of goods together, as the vertical teed
works equally well on both sides. This
cannot be said of any other machine
Seams prove no obstruction to this new
feed, as il steps evenly over them No
home can be complete without one of these
new model machines.

The Carson Appeal hopes the Law
prohibiting boys under IS from smok-
ing cigarettes and cigars, will be
stringently enforced. Carson is full
of sal low. faced, hollow-chested, spin
dle.shanked boys who are wasting
their brains and bodies trying to suck
the nicotine out of cigars.
They mike the mistake of thinking
they can become men earlier by en-
bracing mems bad habits, not seeming
to realise that they are following the
very course that will keep their growth
back several years.
II you want to be man early In
life. let tobacco and whisky alone and
YOU will reach mans estate much
quicker. Get your growth first and
smoke afterwards. If you try the
other way you will make sad failure
The youthful smokers are enervated
nerveless fiascos, who are blighted in
boyhood, and whose future is certain
to be one of sickness and weakness
until ih,y die.
If YOU walt few years, smoking
will not have such a bad effect. A
man of 80 can stand tobacco, but boy
of 9 cannot. and the boy who tries it
will, at 25 have plenty of time to re
Rret it. Every boy who, when under
| ls, persists in running his health, and
clonding his brain with tobacco
ought TO have his foolish habit smakeo
out of him with a club.
